He was a comedy masterpiece for his time. Now it's nice to amuse the feeling of nostalgia) I'll mention Steve Carell separately, he makes faces no worse than Jim)

Perhaps the most philosophical comedy. I like how the film reflects on religion through humor.

Interesting. Will Russian filmmakers want to film their answer, which they will name, for example, Boris the Almighty?

A curious film about human ignorance.

In the beginning, Bruce's behavior is childish: if in my opinion it will not be, then let it not be in any way. The creators perfectly understood the idea of God — through the consequences of thoughtless omnipotence to show Bruce his blindness, causing his failures. He is a touchy and proud man, looking for momentary recognition, but not his own growing up. The tragedy of this character is that he does not distinguish between good and evil. Every flaw in him is a sin, and every sin is evil, and all evil is essentially ignorance. The meaning of human life is to turn one's ignorance into knowledge. Alas, Bruce does not achieve this, just as Grace does not achieve that.

At the climax of the film, the deceased Bruce asks God to send Grace someone who will be worthy of her. The character of God in this film commits evil in response to his request — he takes responsibility for himself from Bruce and returns him to Grace himself. Grace herself also remains with her cowardice, not gaining courage. Admitting to herself that she still loves Bruce, she trusts in his actions or in God's miracle, instead of returning to Bruce herself and trying everything over again. All three central characters turn out to be villains in the end.

The true God, the Real God, will never indulge the destructive illusions of his children. His love is kind, and therefore harsh, because He clearly sees what will lead to good and what to evil. A full-fledged catharsis for Bruce's character would be his desire to become worthy of Grace himself. The filmmakers are right: for a person, the ways of the Lord are inscrutable, therefore unbearable, but who prevents a person from asking God to teach himself his ways? A good father, unlike a lousy father, primarily teaches his child how to become independent. As long as Bruce is cordially blind, everything he thinks and does is evil. A crisis awaits a person who has seen the full extent of his ignorance. He no longer has any idea who he is, he has no ground under his feet, he is gripped by primal horror. This is the process of growing up and these are its stages, and in order to move on to the next, creative stage, a person asks God to teach goodness. And God will teach, always teaches.

It is a pity that the film does not reach the depth, and Bruce does not ask God to teach him to love. He does not ask about what a decent person is, and how to become one. The adventure has happened, but the treasure has not been found.

The movie is so bad that it's even good. Yes, even now it looks good, to be honest, you can get high from all this. Although at first the character of Jim Carrey caused only rejection, he seemed so mentally unstable as a patient at a local hospital. But in general, there is still a place for a good message here, that you need to do something yourself to improve your life, and not want momentary fame, benefits and approval without exerting any effort and behaving selfishly. I am an atheist myself, but the film conveys its messages correctly, so I personally did not experience any resonance when watching it. And you know, there's something very lamp-like when unsuccessful takes are inserted into the credits. It's a pity that they don't do that anymore. The film deserves 7 out of 10 points.

The uniqueness of Jim Carrey is that he knows how to play a charming scoundrel and at the same time does not cause disgust from his behavior. A soft-hearted villain or something like that. And this is of great importance for comedy, it makes it easier to self-mock, ridicule some cliches, and try to set a trend for your content. The story is as simple as two peas, but the presentation itself brings lightness and directly engages in relaxation mode. It's so simple that it's even good, there are no unnecessary segments and the path to correction floats out in a natural combination of ways.
